SUMMARY

The integral of √x/(1+√x) from 0 to 4 can be solved using substitution and polynomial algebraic division. By letting t=√x, the integral transforms into 2∫ (2t^2)/(1+t) dt. To simplify the denominator, it is recommended to perform polynomial algebraic division on the resulting expression. This method allows for direct integration of the simplified result.

Simplify your denominator with another substitution.
 
Bring the 2 outside the integral and then add and subtract 1 in the numerator.
 
First subtract and then add 1 in the numerator.
